The Kansas men's basketball team had to feel the pressure last year when it took on first-place Oklahoma on Feb. 24 in an important Big Eight Conference game.
The Jayhawks upset Wayman Tisdale and the Sooners 82.76 before a crowd of 14,569 in Allen Field House, plus a national television audience. The game long will be remembered by KU fans as the highlight of the men's 1984-85 season.
Few fans cheer 'Hawks
Rv Tony Cox
Half an hour after the men's victory, the Kansas women's team played Oklahoma in a game of similar importance. Like the men, the women's team was trying to upset the first-place Sooners. But unlike the men, the women didn't have the support of a sellout crowd or the excitement of being nationally televised.
What won't be remembered from that Saturday afternoon is that a double-header was held at Allen Field House.
It wasn't as if the women's team was marketing an inferior product. It boasted Vickie Adkins, an All-America candidate, and a team contending for the conference title. Head coach Marian Washington was respected throughout the nation. She
After the men's victory, NBC announcers Dick Enberg and Al McGure signed a few autographs and left. Most of the press, which had required four extra tables because of the magnitude of the first game, packed up and left. Only a gathering of 1,000 fans stayed to watch the second game. The noise level in the arena was similar to a Tuesday morning practice as the game went down to the wire. Kansas lost 78-77.
Special to the Kansan
produced the leading scorer in the history of women's basketball, Lvnette Woodard.
Woodard, a four-time All-American from 1977-1981, was on the sidelines as a KU assistant coach before the Oklahoma game as over 13.000 people left the field house.
Lisa Dougherty, a sophomore guard for the Jayhawks, said coming out of the dressing room and seeing a full house would have given the players a big boost, once they got over the shock.
"I'd probably have a heart at tack." Dougherty said.
Kansas has had a women's basketball program since 1968, but drew only 10,500 fans in 11 home games last season. The men's team drew 220,610 in attendance in 16 home games.
Washington said she didn't like to see situations like the Oklahoma
"It's a psychological letdown." Washington said. "We really don't want our young players to have to experience that kind of situation too often."
On Feb. 3 last year, the Iowa women's basketball team proved that the right promotions and circumstances could draw a crowd to a women's game. 22,157 attended the Hawkeyes' Big Ten Conference game against Ohio State.
"It's been difficult for me, and from my position, it has been difficult to find funding." Washington said. "But I think everyone is aware that promoting women's sports is necessary."
The total budget for the men's basketball team in 1984-85 was
Washington said other teams would like to emulate the Iowa situation, but the problem was obtaining the money for promotions.
budget was $193,640. Of the total athletic budget of $5,692,929,
women's athletics received $444,950.
"I think that the challenges women face today, whether it's in athletics or in any other field, is facing a certain attitude," Washington said. "That attitude in many cases is looking at women as inferior. That attitude is changing, but until it changes completely, they'll be ongoing challenges for women."
TITLE IX of the Education Amendment of 1972 did a lot for the advancement of women's sports, but Title IX recently has been under attack.
Under the title, no person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from any program at an institution receiving federal financial assistance. After a court decision last summer, TIX IX was interpreted to mean that only the program that directly received federal money must guarantee equal acceptance of women.
Renate Mai-Dalton, associate professor of business and a member of the Kansas athletic board, said lack of fan support and unequal treatment could discourage women athletes.
"A lot of student athletes get hurt emotionally about what other people see as small things," Mai-Dalton said. "The problem is the manner of priorities and the lack of understanding of what can be done, the vision. They need the mindset that women's athletic programs can be successful.
"Imagine playing for the women's basketball team in a double-header behind the men's team and the minute you get up, there's a huge exodus of people. It affects the morale and in turn, it affects the performance. If you're a woman athlete, you've got to draw one conclusion — we're probably not as important as

Lighting ceremony sparks holiday spirit
By Susie Bishop
By Susie Dinop
Kansan Magazine writer
On Thanksgiving evening, after stuffing themselves with turkey and dressing, more than 140,000 people met beneath the street lights on the cold streets on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., to wait for those seconds when the trees and buildings turned from their usual facade into a Christmas wonderland, twinkling and shining in the night.
Not only Kansas Citians became part of the festivities, but people from across the nation joined with Kansans and Missourians to the coming of Christmas — or just to celebrate.
Many of the spirited crowd sang carols, guzzled spirits from hidden flasks and nuzzled one another under the glow of the brightly colored lights.
Ed Hartley, Las Vegas, Nev., senior, said he was there to see the lights come on and joined in the party. It was Hartley's first time witness the event.
Some IU students who live in the Kansas City area or spent the holiday break in Lawrence flocked to see the yearly event that began in 1927.
More than 153,000 lights glitter on the buildings and trees each year from Thanksgiving night to New Year's Day evening.
"You need to see it for yourself," Hartley said. "I had friends tell me about how neat they were, but when I saw them turned on I was totally amazed."
Seeing the lights on the days after Thanksgiving is beautiful, Hartley said, but the special excitement when the crowd is unified in spirit and song only comes on that first evening.
"I've been there before when the lights were on." Hartley said. "But it's more of being in the
crowd, singing songs and laughing. The Kansas City crowd really gets into it."
For many people who didn't want to brave the freezing temperatures, the lighting ceremony came to them through their television screen. The broadcast showed the Plaza lights from a child's perspective, in the streets, on top of buildings and from many different vantage points that a person in the crowd
Even the cold weather didn't affect the crowd, he said.
Lance Hodges, Mission Hills junior, came from behind his television and left the warmth of a home.
Seeing the darkened streets illuminated by the thousands of Christmas lights provides some of the fun, but the good times the crowds enjoy come back year after year, he said.
"I went this year because it gets bigger and bigger every year and I had some friends visiting who had never seen the lights before," Hodges said.
He said he had a twofold reason for going this year.
"It is an excuse to get out and party," Hodges said. "We go, see the lights and then make our pose."
The thousands of people descend upon the Plaza in thousands of cars. The limited parking in the lots directly on the Plaza and along the street allows you to Find a slot to slin into in the surrounding area.
Even the police and security officers seem to have fun, Hodges said, the adults are laid back and even the junior high school and high school students aren't causing a commotion.
The holiday spirit spreads to everyone. Neither the cold nor the crowd seems to dampen the evening, he said.
Hodges said he and his friends hadn't arrived early enough to find a parking place close to the

Plaza they improvised by parking illegally in one of the surrounding neighborhoods.
No tickets were given. Either they were buried in the local police had that Christmas bag just before Christmas.
Jim Taylor, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, has been going to see the lighting ceremony every year since he was in junior high school. Through the years, Taylor has found a secret to solving the parking puzzles.
He and a friend park a car in one of the parking garages on the Plaza around 11 a.m., and then go home for Thanksgiving dinner. In the evening, Taylor said, he has someone drop his friends and him off at the edge of the Plaza and walk to the festivities.
Then his only problem is fighting the traffic to get home.
"People come early and park their vans and motor homes in the garages too," Taylor said.
Taylor said people who missed seeing the Plaza lights weren't taking advantage of the sights and sounds that Kansas City had to offer.
He said the lighting ceremony turned in people. "It's a way to get the whole city together. Everybody goes to party and are in a festive mood by 11 p.m., people are dancing in the streets."
"I like to brag and take people who've never seen them before," he said. "I look forward to meeting you."
Behind all the beauty hides a lot of work. J.C.
Nichols Co. has contracted with Plaza Electric, in Missouri, to put up, take down and maintain the lights each season since 1951.
Clyde Tarlton, president of Plaza Electric,
said that preparing the lights for the
Thanksgiving event took about 3,000 man-hours
of work.
The weather and the amount of time until the first thrill of the lights determines the number of men he has working on the project. One year, he employed 20 men to finish the work on time.
"We start in August and finish by Thanksgiving," Tarlton said. "But we actually don't finish until the first of the year."
Tarlton said the crew replaced between 300 and 400 burned out bulbs each day.
Perhaps the best place to get an overall view of the lights is above street level
The rooms that face the Plaza in the Alameda Plaza Hotel fill up for Thanksgiving a year in advance.
Anyone interested in getting a reservation for that evening must submit a written request to the reservation desk, Susan Thornhill, executive assistant manager, said.
To get up to the top floor of the hotel, everyone must present either their vow key, a guest pass or proof that they have reservations in the dining room, she said.
The people who hold a room the previous year get first choice for the next year, though they too must hand in a written note. If any of the names are taken from the top of the waiting list.
Seemingly, the easiest and the least expensive way to see the lights is to drive to the Plaza, stand in the streets and bring your own hot chocolate.
